Big soft dinner rolls that can be made ahead. You can freeze the dough balls and let them raise overnight in the refrigerator..
Ingredients
  • 2 c. warm milk (105°-115° )
  • 2 1/4 oz. pkgs. active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment pour in your milk. Add the yeast and let set for 5 minutes. Add the sugar, eggs, butter and salt and mix on low.
  2. Stir in the flour slowly on low speed until you have a soft dough. You may need more or less than the 6 cups. Replace the paddle with the dough hook and mix on low for 3 - 4 minutes until the dough is supple and satiny.
  3. Let it sit covered in a warm place until dough has doubled, about an hour.
  4. Punch the dough down and make balls of dough about the size of a golf ball or 2 oz. I keep a scale by me and weigh the dough before I roll the balls. Place in a greased pan. If you are going to freeze the balls then just put them on a greased cookie sheet not touching, cover without letting them raise and freeze. Once they are completely frozen I would put them in a freezer bag. If you are going to bake them I got 9 rolls to a 9 inch cake pan.
  5. Let the rolls raise until doubled in size. If desired you can brush with egg whites and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 18 minutes.
  6. If you are freezing these to use later. Freeze the balls of dough. Take out of the freezer the night before and put them in the pan you are going to bake them in. Cover with saran wrap and put in refrigerator. In the morning take out of the refrigerator to finish raising. It took mine almost 4 hours before I could bake them so plan accordingly. Let the rolls raise until doubled in size. If desired you can brush with egg whites and sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds. Bake in a 400 degree oven for about 18 minutes.
